I'd like to buy AMD, but I have all these use cases

  • HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz) - relevant after recent news, if planning to use open source drivers
  • CUDA + Machine Learning applications
  • DLSS still visually better than FSR
  • Ray Tracing still better on GeForce cards

CUDA + Machine Learning applications

AMD has HIP or Rocm, which unlike CUDA is free software. Any program that uses proprietary CUDA libraries is proprietary.

Well yes and no. There is proprietary software that uses CUDA but there also is other AI software that optionally uses CUDA. Usually there is a free software built version

I think the first one can be circumvented by just using a DP->HDMI adapter. But yeah, those other points are why I'm a bit hesitant about swapping to AMD myself.
